Summary

Missing documentation in the XML Schema.

The definition is incorrect. This should be "sovereign state" and not "country". I can think of quite a few countries that are not states: Scotland, Wales, Greenland, Black.

    2008-03-17 Coord: Agreed to use the ISO definition. Proposed definition:

    The code representation of a country or an area of special sovereignty. By default it is a valid 2 character country code as defined by the ISO standard 3166-1 alpha-2 – Codes for representation of countries http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/3166.html.

    The updated definition is good for me. This meets my concern in the original issue.

    This has been committed to the trunk (4.4) and 5.0 branch.
